My dadโs second cousin Keith and his wife Aviva, both taken hostage on 10/7 from their home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza, talking to @DrPhil McGraw. Aviva was released on 11/26/23. Keith was released on 2/1/25.
๐จโI witnessed a woman being tortured, literally lying on her back with something covering her mouth. And, her legs were tied together and they were beating her with a rod and telling her that she must confess. They were accusing her of having some kind of a position in the IDF,

Was a pleasure to write this for Quillette! Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Online audiences have become increasingly radicalised by predatory algorithms pushing conspiratorial, schizophrenic narratives and content creators are rewarded for feeding into them, writes @CoreyWriting. https://t.co/R0EDF3UHOU

Have politicians always been this coarse; this (to quote Orwell) "unshakeably certain of being in the right"? How can we trust a person who revels in humiliating others; who sharpens their knife, sticks it in, then licks it? It's beyond foul and shameful

Re Mamdani's "aunt," I find it notable that when he talks about Muslims & 9/11, he doesn't mention Muslim WTC workers or first responders (incl some 60 dead), or acknowledge that both city & national leaders vigorously denounced anti-Muslim harassment. 100% leftist framework.

Harvard concedes that some of its students "arrive less prepared for college than others... that many are struggling with imposter syndrome... Unsure how best to support their students, [professors] have simply become more lenient. Requirements were relaxed, and grades were
Harvard reports that it is โfailing to perform the key functions of grading.โ Its grading practices are โdamaging the academic culture of the College.โ โFaculty newly arrived at Harvard are surprised at how leniently our courses are graded.โ Students say academics feel โfake.โ

Serious question for Rabbi Kleinbaum: Mandami started serving in the state assembly on Jan. 1, 2021. Between then and when he started running for mayor, what did he do to show "his commitment to fight antisemitism?" Second question for Rabbi Kleinbaum: And since the answer is
Reposting โ Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum at the Mamdani rally last night: โAs a rabbi, I am grateful to Zohran for his commitment to fight antisemitism, for his commitment to protect all houses of worship, and to take seriously the fear that many Jewish communities live with.โ

I was born and raised in Argentina. Lived there until late 2017. I NEVER thought Iโd see the day Argentina elected a pro-free market president. But it happened two years ago. Then I never thought Iโd see the Kirchnerists being utterly humiliated at the ballot box. That is
Itโs official: With +90% of votes already counted, Mileiโs party La Libertad Avanza has been the most voted party nationwide. Deputies: 40.84% of votes. LLA won 64 Deputies. (In the photo, LLA-s color is purple). MASSIVE win for Milei! ๐ฆ๐ท

He's certainly correct that you can find 'authentic working class' ppl who *don't* have Nazi tattoos. I promise you he is correct.
Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) on Graham Platner โI want Democrats to be on guard that we donโt offer a Diet Coke populism to MAGAโs Coca-Cola, including thinking that bigotry is populist. Itโs not. There are scores of dynamic, gritty candidates who donโt have anti-Semitic

Nobody hijacks a party like elites claiming to represent the people they took it from. Harvard & Yale alums run the GOP with a silver spoon billionaire talk about real America and limousine leftists tell the working class everything will be free once they have all the power.
According to a new โautopsyโ of their 2024 campaign strategy, Democrats have badly weakened their party with left-leaning ideas and rhetoric. Theyโve grown their support only among self-described โwhite liberalsโ while losing ground with all other voters.

The Iranian street performers who went viral this weekend have been arrested and their social media shut down. I tried to warn you all against thinking the regime is softening.

Like I said in this yearโs outlook: In 2025, the West will finally have to admit that itโs in a Cold War 2.0 with the DragonBear as a strategic coordination between China and Russia in all systemically relevant domains. Western media is catching up with the reality right now. ๐

A new subcategory of "As a Jews"... "As a rabbis."

Most Jews didnt come after the holocaust. The US was particularly cruel and restrictive to those fleeing.
AOC: โThis city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping the Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in QUEENS, in

So youโre doubling down on the gaslighting. Iโm no expert, but I donโt think this is how one wins every argument.
1) the point he was making is irrelevant to whether it was an aunt or a cousin who faced the bigotry or fear 2) you know nothing about how brown people call everyone in their family and community โauntyโ and โuncleโ 3) youโre an idiot 4) worse, you support genocide.

Land acknowledgments are the silly woke thing that finally broke me. Theyโre just such a profoundly stupid thing that while dumb and meaningless by itself is so annoying that it becomes a demonstration of all the underlying inanities behind it
It is a small thing, but it's amazing to me that the DNC cannot stop itself from opening meetings with land acknowledgements. The politics of insiders feeling that's important (who??) are apparently more important than showing that the party focuses on what voters care about.
